Skill Hire’s program gives participants the opportunity to try their hand in carpentry and bricklaying, find the right career path and learn critical skills needed for the job. Participants gain real-world experience through practical activities led by an experienced professional.
Course details:
As an addition to our three day try-a-trade course, students are able to spend a day in our workshop working toward their white card. A white card is the key that every tradeperson has before entering a work site.
The Try A Trade program is designed for secondary school students in Year 9 and 10.
This program is designed to give students a taste of their chosen trade, allowing them to gain an insight to the construction industry.
Try A Trade is delivered at Forrestfield, Joondalup and Eaton Community College.
If the Try A Trade program is delivered at Skill Hire’s purpose built facilities in Forrestfield, there is no cost to the school.
If the program is delivered at the school, a trainer will visit the school and provide a quote for materials based on the agreed project.
This program is funded by the Construction Training Fund (CTF).
Skill Hire offers carpentry and bricklaying trades as part of the Try A Trade program.
The duration it takes to complete the Try A Trade program varies from 3 to 4 days depending on whether students opt to complete White Card training.
Try A Trade programs are held from March to November each year.
Try A Trade programs are delivered by Skill Hire’s fully qualified and experienced trainers who are trade specialists in carpentry and bricklaying / blocklaying.
